In his hazy sleep, Shang Lin seemed to have entered a chaotic world, surrounded by a light mist, and a blurry figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Although the fog wasn't heavy, Shang Lin still couldn't make out the person's face. He only heard the person say in a low voice, "The path of cultivation is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. How can you reach a higher realm with such laziness?"
Shang Lin suddenly woke up and subconsciously touched his forehead. This was clearly what his master had said to him in his previous life when he was a novice, relying on his extraordinary talent and wanting to dabble in everything, but ended up not doing anything well.
From that time on, he gave up everything and secluded himself in a quiet valley within the sect to cultivate. Only when he had advanced enough and become powerful enough did he begin to learn other things.
So what's going on now? Did I suddenly think about cultivation and then dream of my master reminding me in the dream? Or was it because I thought of the Yuntai Sect in the cultivation world, and then I thought of my master?
But it's not that I'm slacking off in my cultivation; I genuinely don't have the time. After all, I'm currently in the human realm, and I've transmigrated into the body of a minor. If I don't follow the survival and development steps of ordinary humans, how will I live in the human realm in the future?
As for returning to the cultivation world, Shang Lin did want to, but given his current physical condition and cultivation level, it was simply a pipe dream. If he could rely on his servants to advance quickly, that wouldn't be impossible.
But the only ones most likely to be able to cross realms due to advancement are She Jinxing and Xiaobai. However, how difficult is it for them to advance? Even if all cultivation resources were poured into them, Shang Lin, being human, might not even live to see that day!
Sigh, never mind, let's just take it one step at a time!
Shang Lin didn't continue his afternoon nap. Instead, he sat up and circulated his spiritual energy throughout his body. He could feel the spiritual energy flowing through his meridians, bringing warmth wherever it went. At the same time, he also noticed some subtle blockages.
Shang Lin frowned slightly. "It seems that what happened last night, and the lack of cultivation recently, have caused some blockage in my meridians. The dream about Master just now is probably my body's instinctive way of warning me."
Taking a deep breath, Shang Lin focused his mind and let his spiritual energy circulate within his body. It seemed that his afternoon naps would have to be replaced with cultivation from now on. But that was fine too, killing two birds with one stone.
A bead of sweat soon appeared on Shang Lin's forehead, but his complexion was much better than before. He slowly circulated the spiritual energy in his body, clearing the blockages little by little. Fortunately, the problem was not too serious, and the spiritual energy quickly flowed smoothly through.
Considering the time constraints, Shang Lin quickly stopped his cultivation, checked the time on his phone, and saw that he still had ten minutes to leave, so he could go to the Dragon Spirit Tower to see the little scorpion.
Although She Jinxing didn't call Shang Lin after entering the Dragon Spirit Tower, it's possible that the Red Scorpion really had no problem. But there's another possibility: the Little Scorpion had a problem, but it wasn't very serious, and the Little Snake didn't want to delay her afternoon nap, so she didn't call her.
By the time Shang Lin entered the tower, Chi Xie had already been dug out by She Jinxing. He couldn't sense the other party's presence, and he was a little worried, which is why he did it.
However, as soon as Chi Xie was dug out by She Jinxing, he immediately transformed into human form and appeared to be asleep, looking much like the sleeping Huang Ying and Huang Li!
However, Huang Ying and Huang Li's bodies were not abnormal, only somewhat like hibernation. But for a great demon like Chi Xie, this state was a bit unreasonable.
She Jinxing checked Chi Xie's pulse but couldn't find anything wrong. However, the fact that he was sleeping like this was a bit worrying, as he felt that something was off about his condition.
So She Jinxing slowly circled around the red scorpion, trying to see what was wrong with him. He walked very slowly, afraid of missing any changes.
Before She Jinxing could even finish his rounds, Shang Lin came in and hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, why are you here? It's almost time for class."
"Ten minutes left," Shang Lin said, glancing at Red Scorpion. "Didn't he bury himself in the ground? How come he's outside?"
She Jinxing spoke the truth before saying, "I really didn't notice anything wrong with his body. It would be better if the sect leader took a look."
Instead of checking the red scorpion's pulse, Shang Lin extended his fingers, imbued with spiritual power, and gently pressed them against the scorpion's brow. Soon, some images appeared in the scorpion's mind.
Deep in a dark, damp crevice, a tiny scorpion was born. When it first hatched, its body was still very soft, almost transparent, and only the size of a grain of rice.
At first, it could only survive on the small amount of food scraps left by its mother. As time went by, it became self-sufficient and underwent several molts.
It grew larger and stronger, its color became more crimson, its tail became more powerful, its pincers became thicker, and its carapace became as hard as iron.
It quickly became the overlord of this territory, and one day it even transformed into human form, looking down upon the world like a newly born demon king. However…
The good times didn't last long. One night, a magic array suddenly descended from the sky, lit up in the darkness, and then quickly went dark again, trapping the newborn "Demon King" inside.
Time flies, and countless years have passed. It roared, struggled, fought back, and then finally collapsed, despaired, and slowly lost its vitality within the magic circle...
Shang Lin frowned slightly. The little scorpion was affected by the blood moon, which stirred up the inner demons that had been suppressed for years. Only by breaking through his inner demons could he wake up from his nightmare state.
Otherwise, if he loses all his life force in the nightmare, he may never wake up! The only way to break free from the Red Scorpion's inner demons is to help him break free of the trap.
However, he didn't know what kind of formation this trapping array was. Moreover, the formations in the human realm and the formations in the cultivation world are slightly different. Furthermore, the formations in the human realm also develop and change over time.
Therefore, the magic array that sealed the Red Scorpion was left by the ancients, and he was even more at a loss as to how to proceed. Shang Lin felt a headache coming on, but he also knew that time was of the essence. Every moment of delay made the hope of the Red Scorpion waking up even more remote.
Shang Lin first took out his phone and asked his homeroom teacher for leave. Then he tried hard to search his memory for the magic circle diagram he had seen when he went to the Northwest. He felt that it was the magic circle that sealed the Crimson Scorpion.
Seeing that Shang Lin had not only taken leave but also looked very serious, She Jinxing couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, what exactly happened to Little Scorpion?"
Shang Lin replied very simply, "He was drawn out by the blood moon and fell into a nightmare. I have to save him as soon as possible, otherwise he might not wake up!"
She Jinxing was shocked. "What? It's that serious?!"
